Joseph - MSc Advanced Forensic Analysis

Better equipped for a career in forensics

Before undertaking his postgraduate degree, Joseph was studying
BSc(Hons) Forensic Biology* at UWE Bristol. MSc
Advance Forensic Analysis seemed like a natural progression,
allowing him to develop knowledge in specialist areas of forensic
science and to gain the necessary research skills to apply for
research posts in this extremely competitive area.

Astounding passion and enthusiasm

"Having
done my undergraduate degree at UWE Bristol I was aware of the
excellent facilities and this was a major factor in my decision to
continue my studies here. With the ‘crime scene house’ and
dedicated laboratories, I haven’t seen a better-equipped forensic
science department.

"Also key in my decision was the quality and passion of the
academic and technical staff. Their passion and enthusiasm, coupled
with their genuine concern for the success of their students, is
astounding.

"Forensic science is a practical profession
and the masters course has practical aspects in every module,
including the individual research project, which is giving me the
requisite skills to be able to move into the working world. I am
currently undertaking research in forensic entomology, focused on
factors that affect time of death calculations that could help
improve forensic investigations at crime scenes.

"I believe this course has prepared me
extraordinarily well to progress onto a research position. The
amount of experience, knowledge and skills that I have gained is
second to none, and this has been noted in interviews that I have
had with potential PhD supervisors at other universities. I’ve just
heard that I’ve been awarded a place to study for my PhD in
Entomology at Harper Adams
University College, and I will be starting in the autumn."
